"...afterwards, of course, there were endless discussions about the
shooting of the elephant. The owner was furious, but he was only an
Indian and could do nothing. Besides, legally I had done the right
thing, for a mad elephant has to be killed, like a mad dog, if it's
owner fails to control it".

In March 1993, Kevin Carter took a photo of a starving Sudanese child
crawling towards a UN relief camp less than a mile away. A few meters
from the weary child stood a vulture, waiting for her death to begin his
meal. Birds also must eat, and in southern Sudan they were eating
because humans were not.
